Does Long-Term Macrophyte Management in Lakes Affect Biotic Richness and Diversity? [PDF]
We hypothesize that the richness and diversity of the biota in Lake Moraine (42°50’47”N, 75°31’39”W) in New York have been negatively impacted by 60 years of macrophyte and algae management to control Eurasian watermilfoil ( Myriophyllum spicatum L.

The contribution of differential hatching success to the fitness of species and interspecific hybrids [PDF]
Resting egg banks of microcrustaceans have been used to reconstruct the evolutionary and ecological history of species. However, recent studies provided evidence for a discrepancy between dormant propagules in the sediment and the planktonic population ...

Abstract Zooplankton communities in ponds and lakes control phytoplankton growth and serve as a food source for higher trophic levels such as fish. Recent experiments have shown that several freshwater zooplankton species as well as the phytoplankton communities on which they feed can be variably affected by rising temperatures, reduced pH and higher ...

Abstract This multi‐year study highlights the ecological role of diversity and fatty acid availability in phytoplankton communities and their complex interactions with zooplankton. These findings, achieved through large‐scale mesocosm experiments, provide novel evidence of the critical role of biochemical components in shaping zooplankton community ...

Functional diversity of zooplankton declined sharply with increasing eutrophication in hypereutrophic fishponds, despite stable species richness. Community assembly shifted from competition to habitat filtering, leading to functional homogenization (redundancy) and altered interactions among functional guilds. Ponds with total phosphorus below 300 μg/L

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of concentrations of imazethapyr, imazapic, and bispyribac-sodium herbicides on zooplankton community (Cladocer, Copepod and Rotifer) in rice paddy fields. The decrease of half-life dissipation (DT50) of the

Zooplankton Epibionts in Boreal Lakes: Associations With DOC and Host Community Traits
ABSTRACT Epibiosis in aquatic ecosystems is well‐documented, yet the factors influencing epibiont prevalence and host selection remain unclear. This study investigates how water quality parameters and zooplankton community dynamics influence epibiont prevalence, with a focus on ecological implications.

Zooplankton plays key roles in structuring interactions in aquatic communities but often remain undescribed in many water systems. This paper reports seventeen species of the Cladocera (Crustacea: Branchiopoda) from Laguna de Navío Quebrado, all of them ...

Species composition of benthic and planktonic Cladocera was analysed in four lakes and ponds located in the southern part of the Spitsbergen Island near the Fjord Hornsund.

Zooplankton are regarded as a good indicator of environmental change, but comprehensive monitoring programs including zooplankton are uncommon and only rarely extend over longer periods of time.
